In a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller, Republican Rep. Frank Wolf has demanded a copy of the still-classified report about the alleged Fort Hood shooter's email exchanges with Al Qaeda operative Anwar al-Awlaki.

That report was compiled after former FBI and CIA director William Webster was asked in December 2009, following the Fort Hood massacre, to review the bureau's handling of the emails between Maj. Nidal Hasan and the radical [DEAD]cleric al-Awlaki.

The Webster report is complete, but the FBI has so far refused to put a time frame on the release of a declassified version.

In the letter, Wolf, R-Va., also pushed Mueller to explain the cleric's mysterious return to the U.S. in fall 2002, as first reported by Fox News.[More]
